Rhea Jarrod Jablonski is an avid explorer, researcher, author, and instructor; teaching and diving in oceans and caves around the world. Trained as a geologist, Jarrod is the founder and presi- dent of GUE and CEO of Halcyon and Extreme Exposure while remaining active in conser- vation, exploration, and filming projects worldwide. His explorations regularly place him in the most remote locations in the world, including several world record excursions at 300feet to cave penetrations in excess of 24,000feet/7km; these dives include bottom times of 12 hours with total immersions near 30 hours. Jarrod is also an author with dozens of publica- tions, including three books and several forthcoming. Todd Kincaid is GUE’s vice president and science director. Todd earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Florida in Geology and Hydrogeology in 1991 and 1994. His M.S. research identified the key processes responsible for groundwater and surface water exchange. His Ph.D. from the University of Wyoming in Karst Hydrogeology in 1999 was based on the fractal scale dependence of karstic permeability and the corresponding hydraulic mechanisms responsible for conduit development in karst aquifers. Caylin Goldey Barter SPEAKER BIO S , CONT ’D. Jim Stevenson retired as senior biologist with the Department of Environmental Protection in 2003. Jim began his 38 year career with the Department as a park ranger while attend- ing the University of South Florida.

Jim organized and coordinates spring basin interagency working groups for Wakulla Spring and Ichetucknee Springs. He has served as Chairman of the Florida Springs Task Force, and Director of the Governor’s Florida Springs Initiative that developed and implemented a protection strategy for Florida’s springs. In recognition of his dedication to the protection of Florida’s springs, the State of Florida named a spring on the Suwannee River “Stevenson Spring” in his honor. In addition, for his stewardship of Florida’s public lands, the Governor and Cabinet dedicated the DEP’s highest award the “Jim Stevenson Resource Manager of the Year Award” that is given annually to the most deserving state lands manager. Jim and his wife kayak the whitewater rivers of the U. S. and dive the caves of Florida‘s springs. Chris Werner serves as the Science Director for the WKPP. He has been actively exploring, surveying and conducting scientific investigations in dry caves since 1989 and underwater caves since 1996. He has been actively diving since 1989 and cave diving since 1991.

  • The DIR Philosophy
    7KH',53KLORVRSK\ By Jarrod Jablonski A good SCUBA equipment configuration needs to support all of your diving whether that be an open water dive or a penetration dive inside a wreck or a multi-stage cave dive. The configuration must be able to adapt in such a fashion that the addition of items necessary for each dive does not in any way interfere with or change the core aspects. Diving with the same basic configuration allows the same response to emergency at all times while reducing task-loading due to familiarity . In other words, a good gear configuration not only helps solve problems, it prevents them. By achieving a configuration which is streamlined and comfortable to dive with, you will experience diving with reduction in stress and task-loading thus increasing your enjoyment. Strive to achieve a attitude where you NEVER accept any equipment situation where your own standards are compromised. Correct any equipment configuration problems immediately as opposed to waiting until the next dive. Few aspects of cave diving engender biased convictions like the topic of equipment configuration. Different people diving in different environments often reach very different conclusions. This tremendous diversity often surprises the new cave diver who usually expects that there will be a consensus among the "professionals." In fact, this diversity has been known to initiate rather energetic disagreements and while cave diving has undergone some significant changes during the last roughly 50 years of its evolution, few aspects of the sport remain more hotly contested than gear configuration. Perhaps because one's equipment is often a rather personal choice and people are prone to take offense when their decisions are challenged.

  • Doing It Right
    Doing It Right: The Fundamentals of Better Diving Doing It Right: The Fundamentals This book was written for anyone who wants to get the most out of their diving. From augmenting dive safety to increasing the enjoyment of your family’s Caribbean diving trip or planning deep cave exploration, DIR diving is the new foundation for all diving practices. This book outlines not only the essential skills and techniques constituting sound diving practice but also the central elements of a holistic approach to diving. “Jarrod Jablonski’s “Doing It Right” is an outstanding text on equipment configuration, bridging the gap between sound conventional diving and technical diving within all environments.” Tim O’Leary, Bruce Wienke NAUI Technical Training Operations “Now there is one great starting place for the information, skills and methods that, when used as intended, should not only eliminate the ‘accidents’ in diving, but should make anyone’s diving more successful and above all Doing It Right: more enjoyable.” George Irvine, Project Director The Fundamentals of Better Diving Woodville Karst Plain Project Jarrod Jablonski “DIR has taken volumes of SCUBA principles and improved upon them. At the core of DIR and GUE methodologies is the discriminating diver– a person who has a clear perspective on his or her role in dive exploration, and one who will eagerly embrace sound diving practices.” Tec Clark, Associate Director YMCA SCUBA Program Global Underwater Explorers Jarrod Jablonski is the president/founder of Global Underwater Explorers and the CEO of Halcyon and Extreme Exposure diving equip- ment. Actively involved in dive research, education, and underwater motion picture production, his exploration work includes dives to nearly four miles from the nearest air source (19,000 feet) at a depth of 300 feet, resulting in several world record accom- plishments.

  • ADM Issue 4 Finnished
    DEMA 2000 marks one year since the sale of DeepTech by my two ex-business partners. Being the original founder of DeepTech, the news of its sale without my knowledge or approval kinda, well lets say: rubbed me the wrong way. Not only was I concerned about all the years and thousands of hours of work I put into DeepTech but also about the subscribers who had paid their money for a subscription and now would not receive what they shelled out their hard earned cash for. My reputation not only as a publisher but also as a respected diver was immediately at stake. Knocked back to step one after all these years was a hard blow but also a blessing in disguise. When I started DeepTech I had no connections, no advertisers and very little money. After 4 years in circulation I had thousands of connections, good rapport with my advertisers, and a little more money to start over from square one. Advanced Diver Magazine was born with no business part- ners, many of the same advertisers and a data base of good subscribers available. One year has passed and the small staff at ADM has delivered what we had prom- ised. An on-time, high quality, fully illustrated dive magazine like no other. Designed with a good balance of text, illustrations, photos and less than 20% advertising. ADM will continue into the new millen- nium providing what we promised our subscribers with the quality and graphic design that I expect as the founder and publisher. After all, my reputation is at stake.

  • Rebreathers for Cave Diving
    technical The use of rebreathers in caves is nothing matters new. Decades ago, Hans and Lotte Hass used them to venture into marine caves. Profiles like Rob Palmer in the UK, Bill Stone, George Irvine and Jarrod Jablonski in the USA, or Olivier Isler in Europe, are also strongly linked to rebreathers and cave diving. Recreational cave divers discovered Oxygen CCR in the Navy sur- plus, then experimented with Draeger Dolphins, and more recently, APD Inspiration. Nowadays, there are many different brands and models, and they become even more popular within the cave diving community worldwide.
